Rolling the Soil.
ane in Country Gentleman

I. r. frame in Country Gentleman.
A case in point Last fall was a very dry sea-
son for planting wheat A cultured gentleman
from Virginia now in Baltimore, in convereine
with me on this subject of rolling after planting
and who was not prepossessed in its favor previ-
Gus to this season and before thinking over the
matter fully, told mo of a fact which came under
his observation last fall that convinced him and
friend most thoroughly of the very great ad-
vantage in the use OF the roller after seeding.
He was in Virginia, and while visiting this
friend asked him how his wheat looked this was
some time after the wheat had been seeded. J
The reply was. it had not come up. The ques-
ton was then asked, WAS it rolled after plant
mgr mot at ALL was the reply; Il do not be-
lieve in rolling after planting" why notW
was asked. "Well, I don't believe in it." The
two friends then walked out TO the field where
the wheat was seeded, and on reaching it they
observed green spots at intervals. These green
spots were examined and found to be uniform
growth of wheat, and the space they occupied
was the exact footprints where the proprietor
walked over the field Immediately after seeding.
Il was only in those prints that any wheat had
made its appearance in the field.
There ia not market gardener that know OF
who does not press the soil to every seed he
plants, either by placing board over the seed
after covering with fine earth, and walking over
the board, or by using suitable roller. Peter
Henderson, who Is so universally known as a
most successful gardener, tells us that to sue
coed with the most delicate seed the fine coil
must be pressed to them. Is there any con-
sistency in opposing the only means of accom-
plishing the best results because the harder
cereals viii grow with rougner treatment than
the most delicate garden seed2 Why not give
both the cultivation required to produce the
best resultsa AS to the propriety of rolling
after the grain is up. it depends entirely upon
circumstances. II the wheat was seeded upon
crudely and roughly prepared land in the
autumn. upon land imperfectly drained, roll
ing in the spring Immediately after the frost
leaves the ground. would increase the yield
thousands of bushels-in every State where win
ter wheat is seeded-by recovering the roots
thrown out by the frost. In fact, I know of no
instance where winter grain would not be i'm
proved by rolling in early spring, and, when not
thrown out OF the ground, by both narrowing
and rolling. The working, by looseninc the
surface soil, admits the fertility from the atmos
phere, and gives new life to the plant This does
net bake the land--to do that requires an amouni
Of heat which the sun does not possess at this
season. and water in excess in the soil when
worked. But under circumstances should
land be rolled when wet.

portunity to bring about decline. The market

stocks were firmly held, the majority of the list

More Rain, More Mud and a Light Trade
Sizes Up the Local Situation.
INDIANAPOLIS, Feb IL.
The drizzling rain and almost impassable coun-
try roads are a wet blanket on trade. A dull
ness broods over all departments. There is
little trade coming in from the country towns
directly on the lines of railways, and fair city
trade, but as whole it is seldom so quiet in the
latter part OF February. With all this there is a
strong tone to prices in most departments and
volume of trade would reach, without doubt,
satisfactory proportions. In the local market
to-day there were no changes of Importance
Sugars East are reported steadier, while coffees,
both green and roasted, are weak in tone The
produce markets are firm on light receipts, the
local demand taking all arrivals. Inactivity is
still the leading characteristic OF the -four mar
ket, but changed condition may be looked for
at any time. There are three elements which
would give more life to this market and help
prices, namely, bad crop reports, war news and
better export demand. The advces from
abroad are disappointing 1t was thought the
English and French buyers would take hold
freely during the first two months of the year.
but they have shown no such inclination thus
far. Notwithstanding the poorpess both in quail
ity and quantity of their crop. The visible sup
ply statement shows q considerable decrease
and this may serve to rnomentarily strengthen
the wheat market, but it will require a much
more potent influence than this to relieve the
trade of it's dizziness. Prices now are distinctly
better than they we're at this time last year. and
this Notwithstanding there is an increase of
nearly 5000. 600 bushels in the American visible
supply, and the quantity of wheat and flour
afoat is fully half million bushels more than it
was year ago. From this it may be inferred
that the trade generally is in a sounder condi-
ton. but at the same time it is doubted whether
there Is room for much higher level of prices
than now current.
